How to Install Washington, D.C. Blinds That Helps Reduce Bird Strikes

"Birds often strike windows because they see a reflection of clouds, sky or trees which gives the mistaken impression that they are flying into open air. Put a screen or a shade cloth over the window which is nearest to bird activity. A shade cloth, available at hardware stores, is a plastic mesh that allows you to see through, yet keeps the windows from having reflections. If you have blinds, turn them so they are slightly closed, this will reduce reflection. White shears also work to reduce reflection while being able to see through. Spring is the time for birds but so are bird strikes. As most birds don’t have the capability to distinguish their reflection from the real deal, they end up smacking the window and hurt themselves. Fortunately, with a simple treatment like Washington, D.C. blinds, you could save more birds by preventing the glass from seeing their reflection. Along with extra preventive measures, a smudge on the glass will be the least of your worries."
